A massive update for EUROPEAN MOD — Version 3 has been released.

This version fully integrates the RFP PRO infrastructure, bringing a new level of depth and realism to the Russian football leagues inside the mod.

We performed a huge update across 118 clubs from 5 Russian divisions, improving squads, league structure, managers, referees and transfer systems.

📅 Squads updated as of February 21, 2026
(after the winter transfer window in Russia officially closed)

The mod now includes 2500 up-to-date football players, fully matching real-life club rosters.

🆕 New Clubs Added

Several new clubs from Russian and post-Soviet football have been added:

⚽ Shumbrat Saransk
⚽ Izhevsk
⚽ Pobeda Nizhny Novgorod
⚽ Zorya Luhansk
⚽ Shakhtar Donetsk
⚽ KyzylTash Bakhchisaray
⚽ Chaika Peschanokopskoye M
⚽ Neftyanik Izberbash
⚽ Tosno
⚽ Iskra Smolensk

All of these clubs are fully integrated into the Russian league system and work correctly in Career Mode.

👤 Real Faces

This update adds:

🎭 51 new realistic faces

Including:

• players from the Russian Premier League
• all 16 RPL head coaches

Now every club in the Russian Premier League has its real-life manager represented with a realistic face.

This significantly improves immersion in Career Mode.

📸 Manager Photos

The manager photo system has been completely rebuilt.

We added real photos for all 118 Russian clubs included in the mod.

Now:

✔ every club has the correct manager
✔ correct manager images appear in menus
✔ Career Mode looks far more authentic

Work on this system will continue, and future updates will add photos for managers from other European leagues.

👔 Managers — February 2026 Appointments

All managerial appointments have been updated as of February 2026.

Changes were applied in the following leagues:

🇷🇺 Russian Premier League (RPL)
🏆 FNL
⚽ FNL-2

All head coaches now match their real-life appointments following the winter period.

For the leagues:

📋 FNL-3
📋 National League

manager staffs remain unchanged, since the real-life seasons in those divisions have not started yet and official appointments have not been finalized.

🎯 This approach preserves the balance between realism and accuracy.

We only use confirmed real-world data.

🔄 Realistic Loan System

The RFP PRO update includes 140 detailed loan agreements, fully matching real-life player contracts.

We carefully recreated key conditions:

📑 Buy options when they exist in reality
⏳ Loan duration based on official data
🔁 Proper player returns when loan periods expire

This is extremely important for Career Mode.

Now:

• transfer strategies are more realistic
• financial planning behaves correctly
• squad development reflects real football structures

RFP PRO is not just a squad update.
It is a full simulation of the Russian football transfer system.

⚖️ Real Russian Referees

The referee system has been fully implemented across all Russian leagues:

🇷🇺 RPL
🇷🇺 FNL
🇷🇺 FNL-2
🇷🇺 FNL-3
🇷🇺 National League

All referees are real officials from Russian football.

👨‍⚖️ Special Feature

Six Russian Premier League referees received:

🎭 Real Faces
📊 Individual strictness ratings
🟨 Custom foul and card parameters

Every match now feels different.

Some referees allow more physical play.
Others will quickly show cards.

Just like in real football.

📜 FNL-2 Competition Format Update — Season 2026

In real football, the FNL-2 league structure changed.

Previously the league had 18 clubs, but the new season now features 20 teams.

⚙️ The mod fully reflects this change.

Updated:

✔ number of participants increased to 20 clubs
✔ competition calendar adjusted
✔ tournament structure updated
✔ real promotions and relegations applied

📊 All club movements between divisions are based strictly on real results and licensing decisions.

This means:

• the league table follows the real format
• Career Mode progression feels natural
• the Russian football pyramid is accurately represented

🌍 Language Pack Fully Updated

The RFP PRO language pack has been completely rebuilt using the game version from February 20, 2026.

This eliminates text issues that could appear after game title updates.

Now the game features:

✅ no broken or cut interface text
✅ correct national team job offers
✅ fixed contract wording
✅ Career Mode interface errors removed
✅ all text matches the current game version
